By the editors · 2 min readA Jo Malone collaboration, No 3 Citrus Meze opens on a burst of bergamot and grapefruit — clean and bright, the sort of citrus that reads as expensive despite the price point. Neroli and orange blossom lift the middle, adding white floral softness without going soapy.
Akigalawood in the base introduces a quiet woody-spicy depth that keeps the fragrance from evaporating entirely, an unusual move for a Zara citrus. The result is a Mediterranean-feeling composition: summer fruit, white flowers, and a dry wood finish. Unisex in wear, best in heat.
